When a tribute show has been masterminded by two members of the original band you know you're in for something good.

Queen legends Roger Taylor and Brian May are the duo behind The Queen Extravaganza, a rocking live show which aims to give people the experience of being at a real Queen concert.

The show has been seen by more than 20 million people around the world since making its debut on American Idol in April 2012.

Featuring all Queen's top tracks like Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love and Don't Stop Me Now, the show will have audiences dancing in the aisles.

The UK's longest running all-female comedy improv troupe will have audiences chuckling at South Street on Saturday,

The Short & Girlie Show, which is celebrating its 10 year anniversary, promises a night of spontaneous comedy with its Spreading the Love Tour.

The night will feature solo performances from Lara A King, known for her sharp humour, uplifting melodies and lyrical genious, and Hannah Brackenbury, whose self-penned songs are wityy, weird and often very rude.

The comedy group will be joined by special guests Greymatter for the night, an all-female British rock/pop band.
